Thanks heaps, Jeff! Don't know what happened to the format of my pics, but I try to figure it out.

Found some goodies on eBay, lately. I only had the Geonosian Fighter and Hailfire Droid from 2003 so far. And I thought this was a nice chance to add some more CLONE WARS vehicles to my collection.
The seller is very nice and we could agree on the following prices:

- Jedi Starfighter (blue) - 45€ (sealed)
- AAT - 47,50€ (sealed)
- Hailfire Droid - 47,50€ (sealed)
All boxes are in very good, even perfect condition!
- TSC  remote control R5-D4 (TOMY) - 16€
- TSC  remote control R2-Q5 (TOMY) - 16,72€
Thought they'd be nice for a chase through a Death Star Hallway diorama.
It's really crazy to get those vehicles over 20 years after they hit shelves in this condition. They retailed for 29,99€ back in 2003.



The shipping box was damaged from the outside, but thanks to good packing and stuffing, nothing happened on the inside.




I wonder if the Jedi Starfighter has yellowed, yet.

Nice finds, Philipp. It's good to fill in the blanks with vehicles you like for a price that you are comfortable  with.

Great finds DM. Those are all ships, droids etc. that I collected back in the day.
Plus those prices are better than what I see around here.

[Darth More]

Thanks gentlemen those were crazy finds in this condition. Pieces of art that will be displayed in my cabinets in 2026.

Here are the figures that I got in Q4 of 2024. I'm super happy to finally add the SOTDS Search for Luke Battle Pack to my collection. I won the auction for 81€ with my highest bid of 104€.
Shipping was free so I added the ROTS Vulture Droid for 15€ to my purchase. Everything was loose from a very nice collector.



Got the other figures from a German power seller. BoShek was 8€, the TCW Magna Guard was 16€ and the Mr Dodonna was 7€ including shipping.

Found another TCW Vulture Droid in the bay. I got it for 20€ plus 3.99€ shipping. It came with 4 of 6 missiles and a broken wing-joint which was super-glued well.
It was played with, but is in good condition and is the 5th one in my collection. I'm going to weather it.






Got this A-Wing for 65€. The MRSP was 49,99€ back in the days, which was way too expensive in my eyes. But by now the Lando figure alone goes for 50-70€ in the bay. So it was worth to bite this lemon. It's used, complete with box and instructions. Only the lousy stickers begin to fall apart like they always do over the years. Because LEGO is too greedy to put prints onto their parts.

Found five sets of accessories in the bay. Let me know if you need some.

I received a box full of fodder from Hamburg today. Starting in the upper left corner:

The 2 Rocket Battle Droids were 15€ each instead of 20€, but only because I took the bag of accessories below for another 50 bucks. The custom BARC Trooper was 17€ on best offer by the seller in the bay.
Shipping was on him, too.

AliExpress and ebay is the perfect combination for us collectors and customizers. Especially since mighty TungHori was taken down.
I found this TBS Anakin on AliExpress for 12€ shipped a few months ago. The TBS Grievous was 2€ on a fleamarket. So I got 10 lightsabers for them because they came without accessories. The 10 lightsabers were 1,20€ each. Found the TVC Klatooinian Raider for $11.76 shipped and including taxes from a Chinese power seller on ebay.
Grievous is going to get a Dark Side update, soon!

Neimoidian Soldier: 8€
CW Master Tiin: 10€
Kit-bash TCW ARC Trooper: 6€


Found those Class II vehicles for 30€ each online. Both came without the box and were pretty hard to find here in Germany back in the days.

[Darth More]

This lot was 102€:
Crab Droid & figures: 45€
Clones & Droids Battle Pack: 20€
AAT: 30€
Shipping: 7€
The AAT and the Battle Pack came with box in great condition. Even the sticker sheet was left untouched in the box.

Update: I sold the Kashyyyk Trooper from the Order 66 Pack for 22€ so I could reduce the total price of the lot to just 80€.





It always bugged me that Hasbro's vehicles are 1/24 scale whereas the 3.75" figures are in 1/18 scale.
The chess figures from DeAgostini are in 1/24 scale as well. They look much better next to each other.




I also found this accessory set for 29.50€ shipped:

[DarthHawk]

Great finds for great prices.
So many of those take me back to 2005 when collecting was reasonably priced
and Star Wars was so exciting.

Thanks George.

[Darth More]

Yes, you're absolutely right! Good times. And I wonder if they ever come back.
Thanks George. Disney don't understand and deserve your legacy.

Found this Droid Tri Fighter - completely wrecked without any accessories for 15 bucks.
This is going to be repainted.

[Darth More]

Found more TCW sets from the Dark Skies era for 135€.
Also the Droid Factory 4-Pack from the Mandalorian, which was never sold here in Germany. So I was completely fine to pay 80€ for it with a MRSP of $49.99. I'm sure it was on discount on ShopDisney eventually, but so be it. Shipping was FREE.






All the Battle Packs came without the Batte Game cards and not all accessories, but at least the two I want to keep are complete.
